First, I will accept that correction. Secondly, as for your question, I do
not know the answer. My remark about 1.5 x the image resolution is based on
what I have read in a number of references and not on any personal knowledge
or experience per se. It could very well be that the changing nature of
presses and press processes accounts for the 1.5 figure.

Probably, if you'll allow me to interpret your post to say image
resolution of 1.5 to 2 times the linescreen. Wouldn't it be useful to
have line screen a multiple of image resolution, however?
My professional experience was years ago and was with grayscale images
and black/white text. Current use of color and the associated multiple
screen angles may well require different originating image resolutions
for the best prepress output.
